        "content": "<p>Jakarta - Deputy Minister of Forestry Rohmat Marzuki has stated that\ninnovative financing must be placed within the main framework of\nconservation in Indonesia to maintain ecological functions and area\nprotection. \u201cInnovative financing must be placed within the main\nframework of conservation. This is not commercialisation of conservation\nareas. The ecological function of national parks remains the priority,\nwhile financing schemes, partnerships, environmental services,\nphilanthropy, and market instruments must become supporting tools to\nstrengthen the protection of areas and species,\u201d said the deputy\nminister in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday. He added that the\nIndonesian government has formed a Task Force for Innovative Financing\nof National Park Management based on Presidential Decree Number 8 of\n2026. The task force is directed to develop frameworks, strategies, and\ninnovative financing instruments for the management of national parks\nand the conservation of iconic species for the 2026\u20132030 period. Among\nthe national parks of concern are Komodo, Way Kambas, Ujung Kulon,\nTanjung Puting, and Rinjani National Parks, as well as iconic species\nlandscapes in Aceh and Jambi. A number of instruments currently being\nexplored include carbon-based financing, foster sponsorship for\nwildlife, one company one species schemes, species bonds, payments for\nenvironmental services, and other forms of partnership. Deputy Minister\nRohmat said all these instruments are directed at strengthening the\nmanagement of conservation areas, species protection, the capacity of\nforest police and rangers, monitoring systems, and benefits for\ncommunities surrounding the areas, including indigenous legal\ncommunities. He also emphasised the importance of transparent and\naccountable governance in developing innovative financing. Every support\nfrom companies, philanthropic institutions, impact investors, and\ntechnical partners must be carried out openly, credibly, and in\naccordance with Indonesian laws and regulations. The government is also\nstrengthening the Carbon Economic Value policy and carbon trading\ngovernance in the forestry sector as part of efforts to promote\ncredible, measurable climate financing aligned with national priorities.\nRohmat continued that these efforts are also in line with the agenda of\nIndonesia\u2019s FOLU Net Sink 2030, which positions the forestry and land\nuse sector as one of the backbones of greenhouse gas emission control.\n\u201cThrough strengthening conservation areas, protecting natural forests,\nrehabilitating forests and land, managing peatlands and mangroves, and\ninvolving communities in forest management, Indonesia demonstrates that\nclimate commitments are translated into real action at the site level,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>",
